It’s The Gunpoint Gadget Show

Share this:

Gadgets are clearly the best things there are. And it is they that Tom Francis highlights in the latest trailer for Gunpoint, accompanying the news that the game is going to be available on Steam. When? He still isn’t saying, the scamp. But he will tell you all about the gadgets.

We should point out that Tom is a chum, even though he works at for our arch-rivals and evil nemesis, PC Gamer. So this is pure corruption that you’re reading right here, and that’s what’s making me really want to play Gunpoint because it looks rather good:

Ow my brain. Just the Crosslink gadget looks complicated enough. Then there’s the Hushcracker, Deathfluke, Prankspasm… I admit, I just wanted to type those names out.

Some time ago Mr. Francis shared an earlier alpha (or pre-alpha?) build of the game on a certain online community, and while it seems to have come a way further now it was excellent even back then. More of this, please.

Yay Gunpoint! I’ve played a couple of builds of this along the way and it’s properly good. It’s one of those games where you can really decide the how of what you have to do, as there’s not necessarily any ‘right’ way to do a level, and one of the few games that I wouldn’t hesitate to pre-order, should the opportunity arise.

Looking a bit more polished from when I saw it last too, I believe.

On the steam point…was it greenlight he was talking about (as people seem to be indicating)? I got the impression, what with Valve approaching him, that it would be a straight to the storefront sort of deal (it should be!).
